Statistical Matchup Analysis

Balanced meta clash: Yorick (3.4%, 29th place out of 63 Top champions) regularly faces Urgot (2.6%, 31st place).

How to Beat Urgot as Yorick (Top)

The Yorick versus Urgot matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Yorick deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Urgot deals mainly physical damage (90.56%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Yorick is higher farming statistics (ranked 15th among role champions) (versus 20th for Urgot), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.0 versus 1.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Yorick Top versus Urgot Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yorick player to maintain constant pressure on Urgot, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Yorick tips:

  • You do not need to cast Awakening to regain the ability to cast Last Rites.
  • The Maiden will attempt to assist you in a fight, so choose your targets well.
  • You can send the Maiden down a lane alone, be careful though, as she represents a large portion of your combat power.

Playing Against Urgot

  • Urgot relies heavily on blasting opponents with his legs, which have their own cooldowns and only detonate when he attacks in the direction they are facing. Avoid getting hit by multiple.
  • Urgot can deal and absorb tremendous amounts of damage with Purge, but slows himself while firing.
  • If you are struck by Fear Beyond Death, do your best to avoid falling below the execution threshold (25% of your Maximum Health) until the effect times out.
